Question

What are the methods used for making alloys?

Answer 1

The methods used for making alloys are as follows:-

1. By fusing the metals together. For example, brass is made by melting zinc and copper.

2. By compressing finely divided metals one over the other. For example, wood metal: an alloy of lead, tin, bismuth and cadmium powder is a fusible alloy. This alloy is used in an automatic sprinkler which is used to spray water which prevents fire from spreading.
